metal to metal grinding in left front. Goes with speed of vehicle and while turning. Already replaced left front axle but noise is still there. Possible wheel bearing?

Are the brakes good? Also, check the backing plate behind the rotor to make sure it isn't bent or rusted that could cause it to rub the rotor. Also, when you hear it, if you make a left turn, does the sound change?

Let me know.
